I scrolled on down through this sellers other items--they have what sounds like a right ripping yarn "50 Ways To Kill A Slug" Sounds like one for the Departure Lounge.

AEW Nimrod Brochure

With the news yesterday that the RAF will receive five grey 737s Wedgetails, this suggestion from eBay was topical.  1975 Nimrod AEW brochure by HSA & Marconi:

Ah yes,I heard about that,well I suppose the smaller aircraft makes economic sense,even if it looks like it has a big piece of Lego stuck on the top (other building block toys are available).

I picked this up on ebay. 617 squadron coin, with a production error.

B29 Enola Gay on the back instead of a Lancaster

Plaque removed from the Wessex gate guard at Aldergrove, rather battered but may be of interest to someone

I see she was moved in 2019 to Crumlin road jail beside the Sanger. But from browsing Google maps the other week I noticed what looks to be a Gazelle gate guardian but else where in the camp.

On another note a friend of mine saw a wessex being transported into the film studios in duncrue .

Yeah I thought the Crumlin Road Jail would want that, I remember doing one of the first batches of tours around the jail, a very spooky and sinister place indeed.
